Like a Rock

Written by Jin Auyeung & Tim Ouyang

I used to sit on your shoulders

felt like I had a view of

the whole globe right below us

I was young

but still old enough to know

that my daddy wasn’t rich

but you had a heart of gold

these childhood memories

are priceless

far from perfect

you know how life gets

when did it all start to go downhill

when I realized

that this passion

I had found’s real

you claimed it was the

worst decision I could ever make

to not chase it

was a risk I could never take

safe to say as I got

closer to my dreams

the bond between us

was just tearing at the seams

and so it seems

the war is finally over

I’m older but

still that little boy

thats on your shoulder

loving me is

all you’ve ever done

all I hear now are the

words of a father to his son

run a little faster

stand a little taller

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river

fight a little harder

fly a little higher

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river

sometimes you sit

on my shoulders

and it’s a perfect view of

the whole globe right below us

so much to say yet

words can’t truly describe

how I felt inside

the second that you arrived

a little bit of fear

a whole lot of joy

it still hasn’t sunk in

man got a boy

can’t even lie I’m

concerned in every way

I guess all I can do

is learn everyday

to me and mommy

you’re our number one

I often wonder what type of man

you’ll become

you’ll do great things

in that I’m confident

always stay humble

amidst the compliments

as for the ladies

save for the wedding ring

always put God

above everything

as long as I’m alive

my job is never done

these are just the

words of a father to his son

run a little faster

stand a little taller

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river

fight a little harder

fly a little higher

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river

maybe you’re listenin’

and you’re contemplatin’

cause it’s been a while

since ya’ll had a conversation

a simple call

time to man up

before you hit that last digit

quick to hang up

feels like theres no way

it can be done

pickin’ up the phone

and it weighs about a ton

but still not as heavy as your heart

tryin to make amends

not sure where you

should start

even if you talk

what do you say

its a scary thought

don’t let pride get in the way

what a shame

share the same last name

yet you’re strangers

no pain remains forever

love can change us

need someone to lift you up

when you fall down

separated hesitate

to tear the walls down

forgiveness can heal

when its all said and done

that goes for both

the father and the son

run a little faster

stand a little taller

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river

fight a little harder

fly a little higher

I’ll be there for you like a rock in the

middle of a raging river
